The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

That's what I'm talking about... a bigger mobile defenseman that can be a threat from the point... just to add to the mix.

A number 2 beside Reilly.

Gio and Schenn can load manage the entire year.. one game on, one game off. Easy.
 
Who knew that playing a 90 yr old for 20mpg was a bad idea if you didn't want his legs falling off in May? Seriously...who knew?
Exactly, I have no doubt that given the same coach that we do the same thing next season. Therefore no point in bringing him back.
 
Who figured trading for 90 d at the deadline meant you had to play the 90 year old D every game down the stretch when you were already locked into a first round matchup
 
Yeah but look what Vegas just did in net. I'd go with Woll/Sammy.
I have concerns over our top 4 though. Good depth? Yes. Top 4 good enough? No. Not close.
I'll hear about McCabe's "Steal" of a contract all year, but still not a big fan of his.
 
you guys know that this "copying what the team that just won did" is a fool's errand right?

the Leafs don't have the quality of blueline depth that a Vegas does, but they also don't have a defensive game-dominator on the blueline like many other teams that have won the Cup have had. Or a stud goalie, on others.

If you can check one of those boxes, you do it.

Obviously Woll can back up which makes a much more expensive Samsonov pretty unappealing.

also assuming some way is found to get Murray off the cap obviously.
 
Leafs should have made it a condition of getting out of his Toronto contract early that Dubas had to take Murray with him.

Reactions: BG
anyway the point is not even really about goalies, as mentioned.

the Leafs can help themselves by getting any of those.. build a crazy deep D like a Carolina or even a Vegas has. get an elite goalie. Or find the stud #1 dman that can play half the game. You can find examples of all of those on past Cup winners. We presently have 0 of those things.

Caught lightning in a bottle (no Tampa pun intended)?

Yeah solid plan waiting for another Binnington.
